Prosper defeats Plano

PLANO - Senior quarterback Keegan Shoemaker threw for three touchdowns and rushed for another to lead Prosper to a 43-35 District 9-6A win over Plano at John Clark Stadium on Friday night. Prosper (8-2, 5-2), playing its first season in Class 6A, had already clinched a playoff spot.

Plano (5-5, 4-3) would have advanced to the playoffs with a win. The loss, coupled with wins Friday night by McKinney and Plano East, knocked Plano out of the playoffs.

Prosper built a 29-7 lead at halftime on the strength of three Shoemaker touchdown passes to Jostein Clarke and a 2-yard run by Wayne Anderson.

Two Kyron Cumby touchdowns in the third quarter put Plano back in contention, at 36-20, despite Jackson Berry's 2-yard run at 2:49 in the third for Prosper. Shoemaker scored from six yards out with 3:37 to go in the fourth, giving Prosper a seemingly commanding 43-20 lead.

But Plano scored twice - a 32-yard pass from Cole Winnett to Christian Sabatini at 2:55 and a 21-yard pass from Winnett with 1:05 to go. An onside kick recovery put Plano in business at the Prosper 49, but the drive ended at the Prosper 18 as time expired.
